- Daisy Mumbo: Full stack Engineer
Kelvin Njuiri and Daisy Mumbo, both serving as Full stack Engineers, will collaboratively handle both frontend and backend development tasks.

- Languages: JavaScript (ES6+)
- Frontend Framework: React.js
- Backend Framework: Next.js
- Database: Sanity
- Deployment: Vercel
- Backend Framework: An alternative to Next.js could be Express.js, a minimalist Node.js web application framework. While Express.js offers more flexibility and control over server configurations, Next.js provides built-in features for server-side rendering, routing, and API handling, streamlining development and deployment processes. The decision to use Next.js was based on its seamless integration with React and its suitability for building scalable and SEO-friendly web applications.
- Database: Instead of Sanity, MongoDB could be considered for database management. MongoDB is known for its flexibility and scalability, making it suitable for handling large volumes of unstructured data. However, Sanity offers structured content management capabilities and real-time collaboration features, making it well-suited for content-heavy applications like a pizza delivery platform. The decision to use Sanity was driven by its ability to efficiently manage menu items, orders, and user data in a structured format, enhancing development speed and content management capabilities.
